Like the GEICO ad said: That's NOT how that works. That is NOT how any of this works! Political newbies will seemingly only learn the hard-way, their failures.

I know, and I know that you probably know also, several abject morons who just got off their couch yesterday and (like the joke commercials used to say) stayed at a Holiday inn Express and therefore they’re experts (not folks who have attended conventions many times) but THEM who have never been to a convention and have no idea what a convention really is and does other than their vague delusional notions of it. They will still not learn! They will still show up in August at their local precinct polling place and then quizzically ask the person at the poll, the poll workers, WHY isn’t person X or person Y available on my ballot to vote for even though they have been told over a million f** times they would not and how it actually works (what they HAD TO DO, but refused to do, in order to be able to VOTE AS A DELEGATE AT CONVENTION FOR THAT CANDIDATE)! They still will not learn, and probably still won’t after that day – they’ll probably wander out and spew some conspiracy theory (there was one, see: /republican/2021/09/the-rinos-in-lansing-michigan-are-only-delaying-the-inevitable-there-is-a-conservative-wave-coming-to-wash-them-away-2444972.html; nothing close to the truth from what they’ll make up out of whole-cloth however) that their candidates was kept from their August ballot (again, for those NOT PAYING ATTENTION were NOT EVER GOING TO BE ON THEIR AUG BALLOT EVEN W/O THE SPECIAL MOVED UP APRIL CONVENTION, would have been at FALL CONVENTION instead; NOT the general August Primary ballot; NEVER, EVER, was going to be the case); never willing to admit their stupidity and unwillingness to learn from people who have been involved in politics for two, three, four, five, plus decades and know how the things are done and could have helped them – but they refuse to let go of their delusions and learn and educate themselves (and not even need to educate themselves because others have been begging for them to get their ass off their couch and get involved and learn for decades and have been willing to educate them) but they would not f** learn nor spend two seconds to be involved until now but still stubbornly cling to their delusional notions of what they want things to be like rather than the way things actually f** are. You can demonstrate them wrong, over, and over, and over, again, A SNOWFLAKE (regardless of what Party they support, Left or Right) will NEVER LET GO OF THEIR FANTASIES and deal in the real world.

I KNOW YOU KNOW SOME OF THESE DELUSIONAL FOLKS, SNOWFLAKES ARE NOT JUST LIMITED TO THE LEFT...
